Royal Air Maroc (RAM), Morocco's national carrier, is reassessing its flight operations to Doha and Dubai following a significant decline in passenger demand on several of its Gulf routes, according to an internal source cited by Hespress. The airline has reportedly observed a notable drop in bookings on these destinations, prompting a strategic review of frequencies and capacity.
The situation reflects broader pressures facing the aviation sector on certain long-haul and regional corridors, where fluctuating travel patterns and increased competition from Gulf carriers have made it more difficult for RAM to maintain profitability on these routes. The airline has not publicly confirmed the scale of any reductions at this stage.
Royal Air Maroc has in recent years pursued an ambitious expansion strategy, growing its network across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. However, the airline, like many carriers, continues to navigate post-pandemic demand volatility and rising operational costs, including fuel prices and airport fees.
RAM has not issued an official statement detailing specific schedule changes to Doha or Dubai as of the date of publication. Passengers traveling on these routes are advised to check directly with the airline for the latest flight information and any potential schedule adjustments.
